Chapter 150: Is There and Dependence?

In the northern suburbs of Los Angeles, the Phoenix Mountain Valley IT Technology Park is a place where Los Angeles imitates San Francisco's South Silicon Valley and gathers network technology companies in the Los Angeles area.

Here, there are thousands of Internet technology companies, large and small, which operate a wide range of businesses, which can be described as the general public, and even have sex websites.

The [COCO Network Communication] created by Kim Hyun Tae is located in this science and technology park.

Drive north along the Central Los Angeles Highway, about an hour and a half from Santa Monica Beach to Phoenix Mountain.

After finishing his fried chicken experiment in the morning, Kim Hyun-tae took his daughter out and came to the Internet company in Phoenix Mountain.

The headquarters of COCO Network Communication is located in the center of Phoenix Mountain Science and Technology Park, covering an area of about 120 acres.

Originally, [COCO Network Communication] did not work here, but after Kim Hyun Tae got the box office income of "Flying House Travel", he immediately set out to spend 300 million US dollars to buy this place and use it as the office headquarters of [COCO Network Communication].

Compared to the previous company location, it is obviously much taller.

At the same time, after making people look at it, it also looks more upscale, and the kind of network company that still works in the garage and basement is much more advanced.

This time when he came to the company, Kim Hyun Tae mainly asked about the information processing center and the increase in server expansion.

At the same time, he also had to talk to the management staff about the company's next step.

QQ is a software that now has more than 100 million users, and the number of users who are online for more than 8 hours a day accounts for about 60% of the total number of users.

At the same time, there are more than one million new users added every day, of which 89% of new users continue to use QQ software, which shows the stickiness.

From this data, we can predict how great the potential of QQ is in the future.

You must know that QQ has only appeared for half a year so far.

I came to the company with my daughter. Kim Hyun-tae immediately notified the management of the meeting.

The small boss wanted to have a meeting, and of course the management under his command did not dare to slack off, so they put down the things at hand and gathered in the conference room one by one.

At present, the number of employees in the company is not very large, and it is still recruiting employees, after all, the current [COCO Network Communication Company] is still growing and developing.

But even so, the number of employees in the company now exceeds 500, and the number of supervisor-level employees in the management has also reached 13, and these 13 people are all paid more than 500,000 US dollars a year.

And as the company continues to grow. It is not impossible to earn an annual salary of more than one million in the future.

Of course, the premise is that they can stay with the company at that time.

Coco also followed her father to the meeting, which was also an intentional move by Kim Hyun-tae, who wanted his daughter to experience this environment and understand these things from an early age.

Instead of being a girl who doesn't understand anything.

After all, everything you have in the future will be handed over to your daughter, right?

Cultivate her since she was a child, so that when she takes over management in the future, it will not be good if she doesn't understand anything.

Little Coco was quiet. is also very well-behaved, so obediently and quietly held in his father's arms and sat on his father's lap.

The meeting began with the supervisors taking the floor. Everyone began to report to Kim Hyun Tae about some of the problems that the company had encountered recently.

One of the main ones is that the number of servers is not enough, which leads to a poor user experience.

In addition, even the infringing software is constantly evolving. And began to fight against Kim Hyun-tae's company.

After listening to the reports of the supervisors, Kim Hyun-tae groaned.

"Isn't there still $1.7 billion in the company's account? Why didn't we buy servers, increase the number of servers? At the same time, we are building this thing in the information center of the central state of Minnesda. Why haven't you replied yet?"

The revenue of "Flying House Travel" was 2.3 billion US dollars, and Kim Hyun Tae left 300 million for the animation production company, and moved 2 billion to the Internet company, in order to solve the current problem encountered by the Internet company.

But now the supervisors actually say that the problem has not been solved, which makes Kim Hyun Tae a little annoyed.

After all, the money has been brought in, but the problem has not been solved, and it is impossible for him not to be angry.

Could it be that these guys take money and don't do anything?

"BOSS, we originally ordered a batch of servers, but the factory broke the contract and sold the servers to the company that copied our software, and at the same time, the service center we were talking about in central Minnesota was also blocked by some unknown people, so the negotiations had to be put on hold for the time being. ”

Seeing a vaguely dissatisfied look on the little boss's face, a middle-aged man sitting on Kim Hyun-tae's right hand quickly opened his mouth to tell some inside information.

"I suspect that the company that is putting us in the way is the one that violates our rights. In the end, the middle-aged man also said a guess in his heart.

After listening to the middle-aged man's explanation, the anger in Kim Hyun-tae's heart gradually dissipated, after all, if it was really like what the middle-aged man said, then there was really no way to blame these high-level officials.

"We must continue to talk about the establishment of the Minnesota Information Processing Center, and this matter cannot be delayed, it is a very important thing, no matter how difficult it is, and I want to get results. ”

Kim Hyun-tae gave his subordinates a death order.

"BOSS, we can talk, but the land we fancy in Minnesota has been doubled by the local government, which is something we can't afford, and if we buy the land at that price, we will lose money. ”

The middle-aged man reminded Kim Hyun Tae again at this time and told him such a thing.

After hearing this, Kim Hyun-tae didn't think about it, so he said to the middle-aged man: "Then change places, there are many lakes in Minnesota, and it's not just one place for us, if it doesn't work here, let's change places, I don't believe that we have money and can't find a place." ”

The middle-aged man nodded, and accepted Kim Hyun-tae's arrangement.

The establishment of an information server processing center is not a simple matter, because it requires a large amount of water for cold treatment, so the selection of locations will be relatively picky.

Therefore, the main reason for choosing Minnesota is to consider such a factor, because this state has many lakes and the geographical location is also very good, and it is very suitable to establish an information processing center here.

But looking at it now, there will be some twists and turns in this matter.

"By the way, did the server manufacturer give us compensation after the breach of contract?"

Kim Hyun-tae suddenly thought of this, so he asked.

A white middle-aged woman who was writing meeting minutes with her left hand raised her head at this time and replied: "It has been given, we originally paid 50 million in advance for the purchase of the server, and the other party's breach of contract is calculated according to ten times, and the 500 million liquidated damages have been paid to our company's account, and now our company's account still has 2.2 billion cash." ”

The animation production company got 2 billion cash from the Internet company, and 300 million yuan was used to purchase the company's headquarters land, as well as the buildings on the land and some other miscellaneous items.

Unexpectedly, the company that manufactured the server actually breached the contract and gave itself 500 million liquidated damages, allowing himself to get a small windfall.

However, Kim Hyun Tae would rather not have this windfall, after all, for him, server expansion is the most important thing.

"This company is on the company's blacklist, we will never deal with this company, immediately contact other manufacturers to see, as soon as possible to purchase a batch of servers, the existing servers can no longer handle the growth of the user base. ”

The middle-aged white woman immediately responded, "Okay, BOSS." ”

Then Kim Hyun Tae continued: "As for the infringement of our software intellectual property rights, I have already started to deal with it, so you don't need to worry too much, let the other party be happy for the time being, or they will pay the price soon, and it is a heavy price, I promise!"

Hearing Kim Hyun-tae say this, the company executives attending the meeting were shocked.

After all, everyone is very unhappy with this villain who has violated the interests of the company.

"BOSS, it's better to get rid of this disgusting company quickly because they've robbed us of too many users and it's affecting us a lot. ”

The middle-aged white man spoke again and reminded Kim Hyun Tae to deal with this matter quickly.

After hearing this, Kim Hyun-tae smiled, looked at the middle-aged white man and said, "Don't worry, I guarantee that the more their users grow now, the more miserable they will be when the time comes, and the users they absorb will also become ours." ”

There is some charm in this sentence, and the middle-aged white man understood it at once, so he showed a knowing look to Kim Hyun Tae and nodded slowly.

"I get the boss. ”

"Let the engineering department continue to pay attention to this company's software, remember to record and collect evidence at any time, and wait until it goes to court in the future, these are all evidence. ”

"I know the boss, I'll get the engineering department to pay attention to this. ”

I have to say that the IT company that pirated QQ is very bold, and has basically begun to blatantly imitate QQ now.

QQ has a QQ group function, and this company's software immediately made a similar function, and the time difference is just more than ten hours.

QQ launched a function, after a period of time in this company's software, it immediately came up with one, and plagiarism has become naked.

But Kim Hyun-tae is still waiting patiently, while letting the company silently record these situations and wait for them to become evidence in court one day.

It's not that Kim Hyun-tae doesn't want to settle the other party sooner, but he has to wait for Stark's side to give him news.

Kim Hyun-tae is also very strange, why is the other party so bold that he dares to plagiarize so blatantly?

You know, the protection of intellectual property rights in this time and space is very strict and strict, does the other party have any backing or background?

But even if you have a backer and background, it's dangerous to do so.

In short, Kim Hyun-tae just can't figure it out. (To be continued.) )
